Why are you so much for this side-character? I mean, yeah, he tries to pose as main character and heroine happens to have interest in him, but he fails badly as a lead. Even in ep 25 where it seemed like Welkin can show his great side, Fabio just came in and stole the glory in a few seconds with his superhuman abilities.

Hmm... It was a nice last episode, but the ending part with Maximillion's defeat up to the epilogue felt rather rushed...
The epilogue of the team + song were nice, though I wish it touched more on Isara and Faldio. They actually mentioned Isara, but no mention at all about Faldio or his squad. I wish there was at least a grave visiting scene or something of that sort.
Surprised to see Snake still alive, walking past ED and her boyfriend(?) in the epilogue.

I'm glad that no wagon with a guy possessing a gun didn't pass by at the end. Now that would suck...

Lame outfit... That Maximillion-style Valkryia machine... As expected of Lelouch.

Ah~ah... （－人－） RIP, Faldio...

Elderweiss: Have I been forgotten...?
Me: Yes. Yes, you have...

As with all post-Nagiar episodes, this one was an example of what the entire anime should have been. Fast-paced, nice on the action, and good character development. Getting to see Alicia go Valkyrur without a spear definitely was awesome, though that may just be my preference for hand-to-hand talking.

That is so messed up, Fabio did all the hard work throughout the entire 26 episodes just to have Welkin show up and steal the glory and the girl in the end.

Who was there with great speeches when the squad's morale was down? FABIO
Who was there to save the day when Selvaria was about to wipe everyone out? FABIO
Who was there to save Welkin from being sniped? FABIO

The wounded of Squad Seven jumps up by four more: Homer, Susie, Zaka, and Welkin.

I actually expected Homer to get shot, though I expected it to be more dramatic. As in, I expected Edy to be panicking, though she does get a badass moment.

Sweet, Marina knows how to set explosive traps. At least she gets one last hurrah before the end of the series.

Faldio goes out fighting, not like his end in the game. Still, IMO, this end for him was better than his game counterpart's death.

Wow, talk about a different death for Lelouch/Maximilian. The fight between him, Alicia and Welkin was a neat touch, though it forcibly played by a few anime rules. Watching Maximilian's blood boil in his veins, though, was super disgusting (in a good way).

THERE, you guys happy? Welkin and Alicia kiss! I TOLD YOU IT WAS JUST DELAYED FOR PLOT REASONS!

A good way to end the series, IMO. I do kinda wish they could've put in better animation like in Episode 24, but that's just me.

Did it have the same emotional impact, or was it rushed/felt forced and out of place?

I found it well placed actually. It certainly felt more emotional to me because it lacked the ridiculous 'Oh yeah, you have powers that can help protect your friends and end the war, but lets not use them' thing that was in the game version.
